Ventura County Short Sale Misconception: The Mortgage Forgiveness Law Means That Everyone Gets To Short Sale With No Deficiency

Ventura County CA – I recently heard another so-called short sale expert say that the Federal Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act made it so that everyone gets to short sale with no deficiency.

The unfortunate news is that this is not true. In some state, state law forbids the lenders from attempting to collect from the homeowner after a foreclosure or short sale. But, those states are the exception, not the rule.

For Disclosure, and more information on Mortgage Assistance Relief Services, please see Code 16 of Federal Regulations (FTC), Part 322, or , http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2010/11/mars.shtm and always consult your CPA, Accountant, Financial Advisor and Attorney before you any financial or legal decisions.
